  1. Superchargers 32-0

    Need 142 from 80 balls

    And another. Payne had done well until the last of his set, which is pulled powerfully to the rope by Lynn. This is exactly the start that was needed.

    I don't feel he really got hold of it but with the modern bats and the power these batsmen possess, even a mishit can go for six.

  3. Superchargers 25-0

    Need 149 from 84 balls

    Lyth is more than capable of attacking pretty much any score. The Fire think they might have him as he reaches for one, but the noise is bat to dirt.

  4. Superchargers 25-0

    Need 149 from 85 balls

    One mother in the crowd is handing out cakes to the kids. Need some sugar to ready themselves for the excitement to come.

    Lyth clears the field, the boundary and the first few rows with a mighty blow. The crowd (including those cake-chomping youths) love it.

  5. Superchargers 18-0

    Need 156 from 88 balls

    Jake Ball into the attack. A swipe and a four from Chris Lynn. One step and smash.

  6. Steven Finn
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    This is a very good start from Critchley - he's bowled a nice length.

  7. Superchargers 14-0

    Need 160 from 90 balls

    Excellent start from Critchley. Tight. Restrictive.

  8. Superchargers 13-0

    Need 161 from 91 balls

    31% chance of winning for the Superchargers according to the win predictor. Two aerial shots fall just shot of fielders. Risky.

  9. Superchargers 13-0

    Need 161 from 94 balls

    Thought we'd have to wait to see Willey. But there you go.

    Critchley is the early spin effort from the Fire.

    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That was exciting, a couple of fours then a naked man runs across the field.

  11. Superchargers 12-0

    Need 162 from 95 balls

    Back to the cricket...

    Lyth flicks a third boundary in the first set of five. A storming start to the chase.

  12. Superchargers 8-0

    Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a streaker. Some people are filming it, brilliantly.

    It was taken off the pads with relative ease.

  14. Superchargers 8-0

    Need 166 from 97 balls

    Another chip, another four. Just what the Superchargers needed.

  15. Steven Finn
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    We could see some brutal hitting here from Chris Lynn, so put your hard hats on in the stands.

  16. Superchargers 4-0

    Need 170 from 98 balls

    Adam Lyth walks across and picks up an early boundary. Off we go.

  17. Steven Finn
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    They've certainly got power - and a lot of them have got local knowledge of how to go about it at Headingley.

  18. Superchargers 0-0

    Need 174 from 99 balls

    David Payne starts with the ball for the Fire. Bit of swing, no run.

  19. Here we go then. Buckle yourselves in...

  20. You'd imagine Ben Stokes will play a big role in this chase. But the Superchargers have other big hitters. Lynn, Lyth, Willey, Kohler-Cadmore, Brook... they can all swipe it.
